my vanagon front bleed valves are all 10mm. I keep my one smap-on 9mm wrench in a separte stash of weird tools. I'd know it was used on vanagon front bleed valves for sure. rear wheel cylinder bleed valves .. good german ones use a 7mm. cheap non-german ones may use a 1/4 inch. I havn't seen any rear 8mm bleed valves myself. what are the two tubing nut wrench sizes that you really need on a vanagon ? Can't work on clutch or brake lines properly without them.
